After Gu Tingjun finished dealing with Xiao Wu's father-in-law, he looked at Gu Tingfeng again and asked, "What else did Miss Xu say?" ”

She also said that in the future, she will pay special attention to reminding diners, apologize for the matter of the eldest prince, and give a gold card to the eldest prince, with this card, all the consumption in Qingxinfang will be discounted in the future, and whenever there is a new product in the store, a free tasting will be given. Gu Tingfeng took out the prepared gold card from his sleeve pocket and presented it with both hands, with a sincere expression.

In fact, he added these words himself, did he dare to say Liu Jiaojiao's original words directly to the emperor? said that she felt that this matter had nothing to do with her, and said that she would not carry this black pot?

Hehe, if he dares to repeat the original words, the emperor will dare to let people directly seal Qingxinfang.

As for the gold card he took out, it originally belonged to him, anyway, he now has a token that can be exempted, and it is useless to hold that gold card, it is better to be a favor and help Liu Jiaojiao brush some goodwill on the emperor.

Friends do his job, and no one else, right? That dead girl with no conscience even called him uncle, what a ...... I'm so tired.

It was the first time Gu Tingjun had seen the gold card of Qingxinfang, and he took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, and said seemingly casually: "I have heard that Qingxinfang has three different VIP cards, and you can enjoy different discounts with the card, and the highest level is the gold card, but I didn't expect my eldest prince to get it before me." ”

Gu Tingfeng sighed in his heart when he heard this, hey, hey, this imperial brother shouldn't be cautious, thinking that Liu Jiaojiao deliberately neglected him, right?

His mind turned quickly, and he arched his hand and said: "This is the negligence of the minister, the brother thinks that the emperor does not often go out of the palace, and you can eat any food in the palace, so I don't want to present a gold card to you, it is the fault of the minister, and the brother Ming'er will send you a gold card!" ”

After all, on the surface, he is the big boss in Qingxinfang, and he is the big boss behind the scenes, so he has to say this, and he has to act in a full set.

As for how to get a gold card to give to the emperor, she can only open the way with silver, there is no way, Liu Jiaojiao's little girl is a person who gets into the eyes of money, and it is absolutely impossible for her to take a gold card out for nothing.

Gu Tingjun looked at him with a smile, nodded and said, "Okay, I will accept your love." ”

"Don't dare, this is what a courtier should do, and please don't blame the emperor."

"You and I are brothers, what is there to blame for our own family?"

Gu Tingfeng laughed twice, thinking that the matter had been explained clearly, and was about to find a reason to leave the palace.

Suddenly, I heard a report from the palace people outside the door, saying that Concubine Yin asked to see her.

After all, Gu Tingfeng was a foreign minister, and it was inconvenient to see the people in the harem, so he immediately bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, since the concubine Niangniang has something to ask to see, the younger brother will retire first." ”

Gu Tingjun shook his head and said: "The concubine must have come for the matter of the eldest prince, you are also a party concerned, and stay and explain it to her." ”

"Yes." Gu Tingfeng had to obey the order, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart, he really didn't want to deal with this Yin Guifei, that arrogant and arrogant appearance, he really wanted to smoke her once he saw her.

Fortunately, he refused the emperor's marriage countless times, if he was given a princess with the same personality as Yin Guifei, he dared to guarantee that within three days, either he forcibly divorced his wife, or he couldn't help but let her die of illness, anyway, there was absolutely no way to live with her for the rest of his life.

Well, it's still not a good relationship, you can go wherever you want, you can eat whatever you want, you can spend silver as much as you want, in Jiaojiao's words, that is, life is full of sunshine and cool crookedness.

As soon as Concubine Yin came in, she just wanted to habitually be coquettish with the emperor, but when she saw Gu Tingfeng standing there, she immediately put up a shelf, first saluted the emperor in a regular manner, and then saluted each other with Gu Tingfeng.

"The concubine has been waiting for the emperor's news, but it is about the eldest prince, and the concubine is too anxious, so she came directly regardless of it, but she didn't expect the prince to be there, and the concubine didn't bother, right?" Concubine Yin looked at Gu Tingfeng with a smile.

Gu Tingfeng hurriedly said: "This king entered the palace for the matter of the eldest prince, and it is good that Niangniang is here, and the minister just informed Niangniang of the situation he found." ”

"Oh? Can you find out who did the work to the eldest prince? Concubine Yin put away her smile, her expression with a hint of fierceness.

Gu Tingfeng repeated the words that had been told to Gu Tingjun again, and then said apologetically: "The emperor has already interrogated the little Wu Gonggong who served the eldest prince, and he himself admitted that he was in a hurry to return to the palace at that time, so he didn't listen to the words of the shopkeeper, which is why today's incident happened." Although this incident was caused by the negligence of Xiao Wu's father-in-law, Qingxinfang is the property of this king, and this king also has to pay some responsibilities, and this king will personally apologize to the eldest prince later. ”

Is that the case? Therefore, everything is because the person who serves the eldest prince is not thoughtful and proper, and it is not that someone is behind it?

Yin Guifei was a little disbelieving, looked at Gu Tingjun, Gu Tingjun replied to her a look that was indeed so, she smiled again, and said to Gu Tingfeng: "Since it has been found out that it is the fault of the subordinates who did not serve well, it naturally has nothing to do with the prince's Qingxinfang, no matter what the prince says, he is also the elder of the eldest prince, how can there be any reason for the elders to make amends with the younger generation, and the eldest prince is no longer in the way, and this matter is over." ”

Gu Tingfeng was a little surprised, Concubine Yin, who had always been spoiled and self-willed, suddenly became so reasonable? It's impossible, it is said that the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, where is a person's personality said to be changeable?

If something is abnormal, it is a demon, he raised his vigilance slightly, but his face was still full of apologies, "Then the king has thanked Niangniang for her magnanimity." ”

Gu Tingjun, who had been silent, spoke up at this time: "The third brother is very kind, and he specially gave Zhang Qingxinfang's gold card to the eldest prince as an atonement for his crimes, concubine, this gold card is something that I don't even have." ”

As he spoke, he handed the gold card on the table to Concubine Yin.

Concubine Yin doesn't look down on it in her heart, but it's just an ordinary restaurant with an acceptable taste, can it be better than the imperial chef in the palace? No matter how delicious the people's food is, it can't enter the hall of elegance, so what's the use of taking his family's broken gold card?

Also, what the hell is this gold card?

However, she still had a touch of flattery on her face in a timely manner, took it with both hands, looked at it and asked: "Your Majesty, the concubine sees that this card is not made of pure gold, why is it called a gold card?" ”

Sure enough, it's a folk gadget that can't be put on the table, but it's just a small silver-plated brand, and it's embarrassing to call it a gold card, haven't you ever seen gold? Or do you want to go crazy with gold?

Gu Tingjun didn't speak, but looked at Gu Tingfeng, Gu Tingfeng immediately explained with a smile: "Qingxinfang has three different VIP cards, you can get different discounts with card consumption, in order of bronze, silver, and gold, the gold card is the highest level VIP card, you can enjoy a discount in the store with this card, but whenever there is a new product in the store, you will give a free copy, and you can also give priority to sitting and ordering food when you consume in the store." "I love

"It sounds good, but the eldest prince's diet is in charge of a special person, and the palace is also afraid that if he eats something wrong again, the palace understands it, and you should take this card back." Yin Guifei directly handed over the card.

She must admit that the Qingxin Fang opened by the third prince is still quite good at doing business and gimmicks, but she lacks silver at one step, and she can't look down on folk things, so this gold card is useless to her at all.

What else does the emperor say about the third prince who is very willing to apologize, and if he has the heart, he will give this thing? It's better to order the good medicinal materials on the whole and let the eldest prince make up for it.

Gu Tingfeng did not take the gold card, but raised his eyes to look at Gu Tingjun.

Gu Tingjun suddenly chuckled and said to Concubine Yin, "Didn't Concubine Ai hear what I just said?" This gold card is something I don't even have, are you sure you don't want it? ”

If Concubine Yin had such a smart brain, she would not have such a reputation, she didn't understand the meaning of his words at all, and shook her head without hesitation: "The concubine doesn't need it, and the eldest prince doesn't need it." ”

Gu Tingjun's eyes flashed with a gleam, which was fleeting, and asked her to return the gold card to herself, and then said: "Since the matter of the eldest prince has been clarified, concubine, you should go back to take care of the eldest prince first, I still have something to tell the third brother." ”

Concubine Yin was reluctant in her heart, she also wanted to take the opportunity to let the emperor go to her palace tonight, but because of Gu Tingfeng's presence, it was inconvenient to use those coquettish methods, so she had to reluctantly smile and said: "Then the concubine will retire first, and ask the emperor to take care of the dragon body, don't work too hard." ”

"Well, go ahead."

After taking Concubine Yin to leave with grievances, Gu Tingjun suddenly asked, "Third brother, what do you think of my princes?" ”

Gu Tingfeng heard this, and cold sweat came down.

Mom, how do you answer this kind of question? It's just a proposition!

"Your Majesty, the three princes have their own merits, and the courtiers are really not good at commenting." After trying to be careful with his words in his heart for a few moments, he spoke cautiously.

"I know that they have their own merits, but I want to know what you think of the three of them, so let's put it this way, if I want to make a prince, who do you think is better?"

Gu Tingfeng immediately knelt down, lowered his head, and said with horror: "Your Majesty, the matter of establishing a prince is very important, and the younger brother really doesn't dare to say anything." ”

Oh my God, did he forget to look at the yellow calendar when he went out today? was first stimulated by Liu Jiaojiao in Qingxinfang, and now he is tossed by the emperor, this is a short-lived rhythm!

"I forgive you for your innocence, you tell your true thoughts, I want to hear it." Gu Tingjun refused to let him go.

Gu Tingfeng was about to cry, where did he really think? Where do you dare to have any ideas, exactly? He just wants to be a carefree prince who eats and waits for death, why is it so difficult?

But the emperor has said everything about this, and it is clear that if you don't answer, it's a death, and if you don't say it, it's a death, a dilemma!

"Your Majesty, the three princes are all excellent children, the eldest prince is the eldest son, the biological mother is a concubine, the status is noble, the second prince is smart and studious, and he is also a material that can be made, although the third prince is the youngest, but he is also clever and sensible, and the courtiers think that the three princes have their own merits, and it depends on how the emperor chooses." He had no choice but to play Tai Chi and kick the ball back again.

At this moment, he felt that his back was all soaked, he was frightened, and when he said this, he had almost exhausted all the wisdom of his life, if the emperor was no longer satisfied, he could only play scoundrels, anyway, he would never provide any advice on the establishment of the prince, that is, he was looking for death.

Gu Tingjun was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth to let him stand up, looking at him with an extremely deep gaze, faintly mixed with a little obscure light.

"It's obvious that I'm asking you, but you threw the question back at me, third child, do you think I'm deliberately playing tricks on you by asking you this question? That's why you don't dare to answer? ”

"Brother Chen doesn't dare, what Brother Chen said is all heartfelt words! The matter of establishing a prince is very important, how can the ministers and brothers criticize it at will? Moreover, in the hearts of his younger brothers, the emperor is still in the prime of life, and several princes are still young, so it is too early to talk about the establishment of the prince. Gu Tingfeng hurriedly denied it, plus showed a round of loyalty.

He did suspect that the emperor was deliberately asking him this question, but where did he dare to say it directly? And not stupid.

Gu Tingjun couldn't ask anything when he saw it, so he waved his hand a little stupidly and said, "You go down, I still have political affairs to deal with." ”

Gu Tingfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was just about to retire, when he suddenly saw the gold card on the table, and hesitated: "Your Majesty, since Niangniang said that the eldest prince doesn't want that gold card, is the younger brother ......?"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Tingjun swept over with a cold eye, "Didn't you say that you wanted to give me a gold card?" Isn't that right? Do you still want to take it back? ”

Hey, he's completely forgotten about it! blamed the emperor for asking him about the proposition, which made him confused.

"No, no, it's the younger brother who is confused, since there is nothing to do, then the younger brother will retire first."

"Go ahead." Gu Tingjun lowered his head again and began to look at the pile of twists and turns, completely ignoring his meaning.

When Gu Tingfeng walked out of the palace, it was already evening.

He stood outside the palace gate, and instead of getting into the carriage right away, he looked up at the sky.

The late autumn nights come earlier than in the middle of summer, but they are still later than in winter, so although the sky has become darker, you can still see the floating white clouds.

Clusters of pink glow mingled with the white clouds, adding some color to the dark sky, and the occasional migratory bird flew by, as if trying to break through the clouds, but to no avail.

As the old saying goes, if you don't go out in the morning glow, you will travel thousands of miles in the sunset, and it seems that tomorrow will be a good weather.
